cable work?? i see that case almost everyday and i can tell you it doesn't need any cable tidies, its been done, and for the Playstation Logo, well he has an emulator and "had" a ps2!

 

[spud107]

thanks for replies,
cables arent too bad are they? bit limited with the them on this psu,
should have seen it last week, there tidy compared to then lol

replacing that 80mm fan with a 120 at some point,

and for the Playstation Logo, well he has an emulator and "had" a ps2!

its got a ps2 pad (or 2) connected to parallel port, used for racing games,
the logo is just there for randomness. .

7/10 a solid set up

 

[spud107]

still to run some benchmarks, still testing vista,
doesn't seem too bad after a bit of optimising,

 

[cdawall]

you should be able to get better lats than that mines in the high 30s and it s754

The Acer Fan is a 120mm so you wanting it up the morn. lol you be on the coffee's when i fire up lol

not been playing with mem timings much yet, got to this speed on stock timings,
just not stable but think cpu needs more voltage

The Acer Fan is a 120mm so you wanting it up the morn. lol you be on the coffee's when i fire up lol

just mind the fan, need it at these speeds. . .
but not as hot as this. . .

 

[Fuse-Wire]

dont worry ill get the fan. no use for it i need another wee one for the back of my case

 

[spud107]

[Fuse-Wire]

kk ill update after download n install

 

[Fuse-Wire]

online im p4d1 simple lol

 

[Ketxxx]

Hmm.. change mem latency to 3-3-3-8 and see what the max FSB is you can get.

 

[spud107]

timings changed, il see what i can get,. . .

 

[Fuse-Wire]

crash like last time?? i get confused when it comes to RAM timings, i'd rather leave that alone

 

[spud107]

did everest tests at 260mhz, 3-3-3-8, bluescreen at 263,
with a divider iv got this so far though,

 

[Fuse-Wire]

So thats you RAM timings sorted allowing you to OC a bit more?

 

[spud107]

wiring cleaned up a bit, where possible,

heres the messy side . . .

I voted 1/10 because:

Because of the ugly monitor
